Artist Statement

My artistic practice straddles between Imperfect Perfection and Perfect Imperfection to describe the world and everything in it. I see this contrast symbolism in nature with the belief that there is a parallel force for everything. Through my work I attempt to explain my three notions: nothing can exist to amuse and attract without its opposite force; symmetry is reactive, hence kills a curious mind; life is as simple as straight lines, but forced into bends to produce submissive minds that are made to be lost in circles. With that in mind, the world is only perfect with its organic imperfection, though such perfection is orphaned by most through forced consumerism and commercialised art.

The format of my work expresses these notions mostly with surface level linear minimalism hiding deep layering processes underneath. The repetition of layers and forms is the depiction of repeated anger, grudges and suppressed emotions that describe 21st century society and its effect on my mind. This process has led me to the effectiveness, elegance and benefits of simplicity to encourage the viewers to proactively look deeper, think deeper, argue and question. Although the imagery in my work includes minimalist abstraction, it also interlaces with a mathematical sense of architecture and a strong awareness of spatial relationships manifesting my inspirations derived from derelict architecture, stationary motion and loud silence.
